Bulgarian Presedent Radev: Apparently, the NPP will be built like a highway

Bulgaria must necessarily develop its nuclear energy, but in order for this process to be sustainable, effective and efficient, all possible options must be studied, analyzed and compared according to the various parameters. This is not happening. Apparently, the NPP will be built like a highway," said the head of state Rumen Radev, a BGNES reporter reported.

On the subject of "Lukoil", the head of state commented: "How the caretaker government appointed by me managed to convince "Lukoil" to finally register its economic activity in Bulgaria, to pay BGN 180 million in advance. corporate tax, how did this government manage to guarantee the sustainable operation of the refinery and lower the prices from BGN 3.50 to BGN 2.40, while the current rulers cannot?" asked the head of state.

According to him, there is a risk of deficit and increased prices when the derogation is removed. "We calculated and did not see. We did not see any reasoned calculations and models for the Energy Law directly concerning such an important issue", he clarified and pointed out that this was the reason for returning the law to the National Assembly for reconsideration.

"In the endless quarrels about influence, money, positions, the rulers forget the most important thing, that they are primarily responsible for the security and well-being of the people. National security requires the administration to look beyond the posts, beyond its interests and mandates and return its focus to society's problems," Radev said. /BGNES
